A low carb diet may help you reduce your androgens, resume a normal cycle, etc but it has not been proven to help with ovulation. This is not only important for women trying to conceive but also for women who wish to avoid endometrial cancer. It is beleived that if you menstruate without ovualtion, not all of the uterine lining is expelled. If your insluin levels are not totally controlled, you are also at high risk for developing diabetes. Met also lowers you PAI-1 which is an independant indicator of heart disease and stroke. A low carb diet may help with these things but met has been proven to. For myself, I want proof. I have a family to live for. :-) -- Hope this helps, Belle Next message: Amy: "Arizona Chapter" Previous message: Belle: "Re: Advice" In reply to: Becky: "Advice" Next in thread: Audrey: "Re: New here, starting on Glucophage"
